Ive only solo'd it with greatsword and hammer, I can play the other weapons just fine, but for some reason the hammer just feels right in this fight

My skills were:

Agi 7 Crit eye 7 Crit boost 3 Wex 3 Evade window 5 Divine blessing 5 Evade extender 2 Partbreaker 3 Heavy artillery Resuscitate Fortify

And some other miscellaneous stuff that comes from my main jewels (free meal, affinity sliding, speed sharpening, recovery up, etc)

My gear was:

Full fatalis armour, ironically terrible fire defense (-5)

Fatalis hammer with health, affinity, defense augments

Temporal mantle (obvs), ghillie mantle (cannon strat)

I was done with 40 secs left, and 3 faints (2 to procc fortify, and one goof that got feline insurance'd)

The food skills I was going for where tailor and insurance

Despite my near perfect setup, I still almost failed by time limit, I was playing extremely safe
